By The Minister of Information and Cultural Orientation, Lai Mohammed has refuted report that made rounds late Friday evening that Federal Government has ordered a stop to the Big Brother Naija Season 5 TV reality show.

“The report was not credited to the minister. That statement is not credited to the minister. We will not dignify speculative reports; if a minister issues a directive, it will not be issued verbally.
“There’s going to be a memo to that effect that he will send; anybody that is sure that the minister made that statement should provide a memo.
“Like I said earlier, we will not dignify speculative report; if you tune your satellite TV to channel 198, I am sure Big Brother Naija is still airing, contrary to the speculative report that the minister has ordered NBC to suspend the show,” he was quoted as saying.
